There are three tabs of settings you can change for the message composer. The General tab covers shortcuts and assorted behavior, and the other two control signatures and spell checking. In the General tab, you can set:
Choose how you will normally forward and reply messages, what character set they will use, whether they will be in HTML, and whether that HTML can contain smiley face images.
There are two optional alerts here:
The composer will warn you if you try to send a message without a subject.
The composer will warn you if you try to send a message that has only Bcc recipients. This is important because some mail servers will fail to honor blind carbon copy if you do not have at least one recipient that is visible to all readers.
The signature editor allows you to create several different signatures in plain text or in HTML, and to specify which of them will be added to emails you create in the message composer. If you prefer to use an alternate signature or none at all, you can select it from the mail composer itself.
In the spell-checking tool, you can set spelling options, including the language or languages you will use. Note that you must install the gnome-spell package, available through Red Carpet, for spell-checking to be available in Evolution. Alternate dictionaries are also available through Red Carpet and are detected automatically if you have installed them.
You can check the spelling of messages by selecting Edit->Spell Check Document. Alternately, check the Check spelling while i type box, and choose a color for your misspelled words.
